Anyone have or see the new MTH UP ES44AC's from the 2017 vol. 1 catalog? Any pics or videos?

It was a joke, seems like all the make are ES44s and SD70ACes these days. I've seen the ones from previous catalogs. Have one at our store. They're nice, can't imagine the latest ones would be anything less

Alrite, fair enough. I have the 5000th GEVO one, and a regular one coming, not in at the dealer yet. But I don't have DCS yet, nor do I have a layout. Also I was curious if they will have the GPS detail or the PTC detail on the cab roof.

Unfortunately MTH has not up dated the ES44AC body since the initial offering in 2005. The front door is still on the fireman's side of the cab. MTH has not corrected this as yet. A big surprise was the correct cab on the NS AC44C6M engines. Spot on.  Remarkably the SD70Ace bodies were changed to reflected the upgrades by EMD,i.e., removal of the rear walkway light and new positioning of  rear sand filler hatches. Still waiting for the isolated cabs and low headlights for BNSF, U.P. and KCS.
